How do Waterwheels Work?

- How can we harness water power to... move water? Can water really create electricity? And does (wheel) size really matter?
Three parts science, one part history, join me as I teach you everything about waterwheels you never realised you needed to know. Very handy for physics teachers, students and off-grid living enthusiasts.
Huge thanks to the folks at Manx heritage for letting us film at their wonderful Laxey Wheel. For further reading: manxnationalheritage.im/our-s...

Amazing and well explained, thank you.
Perfect explanation! Thanks
How am I only just now finding your channel? Instant subscribe.
Well made and explained video as allways!, I saw you randomly in a pokerstars twitch stream where you went pretty far on a few weeks ago, cool to see you there. The reason I follow you is because I saw you stream poker one time and you and the chat had some really interesting topics, i also see you host others on twitch, and i wish you started streaming again, last time I saw you stream was when you were on a hotel a year ago or so :)
I don't understand why she doesn't have more subscribers
I love the timelapse in this. ;)
Thank you, this was the video I was looking for.
I am so going to drag my kids to see that one day - I’d never heard of it! Love it 👏
Reminds me of the ATP Synthase motor in your cells that makes ATP, the energy molecule that you just used to read this.
Way to go Liv !
She has no business being this good at videos
so good to see you
But how are the water from the streams lifted up?
The water from the streams are probably sourced from higher elevation
Dam it up
Thank You ! I love the Big, Waterwheel though !
Very inspirational. I Thought of a method of a totally self contained water wheel approximately 6Ft. 6" diameter with a width of 12ft. that can turn a standard 22hp. whole house 200 amp generator . Get this, you don't need a running stream, river, or flowing creek to make it work. I'll get back with you all with some drawings and video of this recently inspired concept. Once I put this concept out there its yours to do with what you want.
What's the update?
You have more vedio this project?
I guess it wouldn't be as efficient had they made it smaller but faster.
This reminds me of the discontinuous shock pump that also increases pressure.
They did this but if they was to do this same thing to produce electrical 🔋 on a higher speed with stronger spin this can be a far more cleaner source of power and in doing so should be able to produce enough energy to support towns and who knows maybe more
Very good
Very cool
Water problems require water solutions
Why do they pump water to the top instead of running the water along the bottom of the wheel
The potential energy of the water is greater at higher heights, therefor you can extract more energy. If the water flows underneath the wheel, you can only extract the kinetic energy of the water. If you let the water fall you can extract the kinetic and potiential energy, producing more power and increasing efficiency.
@@boomfly9543 though they need to pump the water up, so not much of an energy gain
@@YukamsGaming yea ideally you just build it under water level but if it takes 5 MW to pump it up and you can extract 10 MW more out of the water then you still profit, although takes a economical analysis to see if its worth the capital cost of the pump
Check with Wikipedia. The source reservoir is above the top of the wheel. The water is conveyed in pressure pipes as a reverse syphon. Funny smarty pants didn't mention that. It's an obvious question.
@@boomfly9543at that point why didn’t they just use that pump to get the water out in first place. seems over engineered
but what's pulling the water up to the top of the wheel? is it a siphon? is it just pressure from the flow of the aqueduct?
Yup sounds weird. You cannot create energy, I don’t get how they get water up there 🧐
@@YukamsGaming whatever it was, it worked. so there must be a major feature they didn't show in the video.
I was thinking about this same solution but instead of using water I would use a different material one that won't create pollution or harmful gases
Very good explanation, Liv.
The largest waterwheel measures 26.08 m (85 ft 6.77 in) in diameter and was created by Danzhai Wanda Town (China) in Danzhai, Guizhou, China, on 26 June 2017 so the lexi wheel isnt the largest in the world
Where is this location
wasnt this already uploaded before?
How much water put one time

High af, don’t understand shit, but watched it nonetheless for LIV!!!
Tickle boo x
First motor
Anno 1404 and it's expansion, Venice brought me here.
And you want me to believe some farmers in the 17/8th century created something like this and somehow made it work
Like HOW DO YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS?
100-1=99
WOTAAAH
180 metric horsepower equals to 132.3 even more metric kW
The water wheel has more hp than my miata
What?!
NUH UH, BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER!!! Sometimes there is too big
Very nice, you might make a good poker player with your brain power. I had no idea!
why did my teacher give me this to learn about like tf
Ada cap kaki tiga😶
Pyramid power nexgen
I designed power conversion for 30 years. I don't need any more engineering. I am just here to see the girl.
Please give me calculate formul my friend
@@kahramanseker6030 90% of the work is defining the problem. Then you can have an engineering student in India for cheap. No one does that because the engineering is so hard to define the problem.
Just a formul dear :))

Girls who appreciate and understand engineering I find irresistible.. always attractive.
No entendí nada de lo q explico ella y de ese paso de chatarra Xd
The girl version of Einstein
OMG you're a goddess 👀😜💕💕💕
love from🇵🇰
Why bother though? You're pumping the water up anyway so you're wasting energy. Surely, there's a more straightforward approach to achieve whatever the wheel is used for by just using the energy you're spending on the pump instead of the energy you're producing with the wheel.
Did she really just say ‘bigger is better’ 🤣 Ha, cringe 😬. Still I’ll show you better ;)
Cool but whoever wrote this script needs to be fired
I love her tiny waist and skinny legs
